Definitely a huge generalization--goes along the lines of someone saying all kids from Russia will have FAS and lots of problems.
Kids can have problems no matter where they are from, what their background is--so blanket statments like that definitely come off the wrong way.
Also don't be surprised once home if you wish you had some contact with your child's birthfamily--I know I do, i wish my son was able to have a relationship with his siblings, I wish we hadmore family info. I am actually in the process of trying to make contact with his bmom.
